But this worry did not last long, as Xie Lingxi saw Si Ling and immediately trotted over.

"Si Ling, where is His Highness? I brought the silver... No, I brought silver bills so that it is convenient for you to carry!"

As he spoke, Xie Lingxi directly brought over a wooden box. When he opened it, he saw a thick pile of silver bills inside.

The corners of Si Ling's mouth twitched when he saw this, but he was happy in his heart.

He didn't bother to be polite with Xie Lingxi. He took the banknote respectfully, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Lingxi.

"Miss Xie, the situation on the border is indeed urgent. His Highness has already taken his men and left first, and asked me to wait for you here. This letter was written by His Highness himself."

When he said this, Si Ling smiled mysteriously, approached Xie Lingxi and said.

"Your Highness means that you should let Miss watch it at night, and watch it alone, and don't let anyone else know!"

Si Ling looked serious. Although Xie Lingxi felt a little strange, she still agreed.

She just thought that the letter contained some important information, such as the outbreak of sheep plague in Huangsha Pass. If she hadn't asked about it at the time, it probably wouldn't have been passed on.

Xie Lingxi nodded immediately and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't tell you anything about what happened over there. I will burn this letter after reading it and will never let anyone else know!"

Si Ling was even more satisfied with Xie Lingxi's attitude, and then he bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your generosity, young lady. I have to catch up with His Highness, so I won't see you off. I'll take my leave and see you later. I wish you all the best!"

After saying a bunch of auspicious words, Si Ling turned around and left quickly.

Xie Lingxi looked at Si Ling's back and felt inexplicably melancholy in her heart. Although she had always refused Prince Chen's help, she still felt very safe with Prince Chen around.

She had to say that the sense of security that Prince Chen gave her was too great. Now that Prince Chen had set off for the border, she still had a bunch of troublesome matters to deal with, and it was really not a good idea to trouble him with the Xie family's affairs.

Anyway, no matter there is a way out or not, the Xie family cannot fall, and neither can I!

Xie Lingxi encouraged herself in her heart, then turned around and returned to the carriage.

Seeing that the young lady looked worried, Qiao'er asked with some concern.

"Miss, did His Highness say something harsh? Why do you have such an expression?"

Xie Lingxi reacted, looked at Qiao'er and smiled: "Nothing."

Xie Lingxi didn't think about explaining anything to Qiao'er. She just felt that the road ahead was long. Next, she would have to confront the Third Prince, who was not something the Xiao family could compare to.

Hope everything goes well!

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi felt a little upset.

She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. The streets were busy with people and traffic, and it looked very prosperous, but Xie Lingxi was not interested at all.

At this moment, her eyes were attracted by one place.

Qiao Er followed the direction of the lady's gaze and immediately laughed, "Miss, there are a lot of colorful silks in the capital recently. Why don't we go take a look? That silk shop is pretty good. Miss, it's time for you to make some new clothes."

After hearing what Qiao'er said, Xie Lingxi suddenly became interested. It wasn't that she wanted to make some new clothes for herself, but she was thinking about making some new clothes for her parents, her elder brother, and her younger brother.

Thinking of this, she remembered something else, so she looked at Qiao'er and asked, "By the way, how much do you know about Madam Yang?"

Qiao'er looked confused.

"I don't know why the young lady suddenly mentioned Madam Yang?"

Xie Lingxi asked the coachman to stop the carriage, and then took Qiao'er directly to the silk shop.

Before the formal showdown with the Third Prince began, the Xie family had nothing to do, at least he was relatively free.

But once the plan is completed, my family will be busy, and I am afraid I will be very busy and will not have time to visit Mrs. Yang.

It is just right that before this, I should meet with Madam Yang more often and keep in touch with her. On the one hand, it will help my brother live a better life in the academy. On the other hand, I can also cultivate feelings with Madam Yang and find out more about the situation of Madam Yang's family.

At least she would be qualified to stop Mrs. Yang's tragedy before it happened. Otherwise, she would just be an emotionless niece, and Mrs. Yang would not listen to her so-called advice.

I passed by this silk shop, so I picked some gifts. I'll send the visiting card over in the next two days and meet Madam Yang first...

After muttering to herself, Xie Lingxi looked at Qiao'er and said.

"I want to give Madam Yang something, but I don't know what pattern or color to choose for this silk. Can you help me think about it?"

Qiao'er frowned and thought for a moment before suggesting.

"Miss, Madam Yang is pregnant now and will give birth to her baby in a few days. The gifts we give should mainly be given to Madam Yang, and we can also buy some things for the child. Whether it is some small toys or small clothes, I think they will please Madam Yang."

"As for Madam Yang, she is pregnant now, and this pregnancy was hard-won. We should not send her food or anything like that. Let's send her something useful, and it's best if it doesn't have any fragrance, in case something goes wrong. Jewelry or something like that will also be fine."

"But I've seen that Madam Yang usually dresses simply, and doesn't seem like someone who likes luxury. And Master Yang is from the Yang family, which will be a noble and scholarly family in the future. She probably doesn't like this kind of yellow and white jewelry."

Qiao'er was really thinking seriously about what to give. She fell silent when she thought of this, and then her eyes lit up.

"I understand! How about we make a longevity lock for the child? Firstly, it is a beautiful blessing, and secondly, it is a valuable item that can be shown off without looking tacky."

Xie Lingxi thought about it and felt that what Qiao'er said made sense, so she smiled and said.

"You're right. Let's buy some silk and satin suitable for making small clothes for the child first, and then pick out some small toys for the child. As for Madam Yang... I'll make her a set of clothes myself, but my craftsmanship is not good, so I'll make her an undergarment first. Anyway, she can't be seen when she wears it inside."

"Then I'll go back and ask my mother to find a reliable craftsman to make a longevity lock made of pure gold. This way, I think Madam Yang will definitely like it... By the way, since Madam Yang and the child have been given away, Master Yang can't be left out. I'll think of a way to get a set of rare four treasures of the study for Master Yang. What do you think?"

Qiao'er thought it was great and said with a smile.

"Young lady is indeed very thoughtful and considerate! I admire you!"

Xie Lingxi poked her forehead and said, "You are the only one who talks sweetly!"

The master and servant were shopping on the street, and when they returned home, the sun had already set.

Qiao'er couldn't carry the things she bought by herself, so she went into the mansion and found many maids to help her carry them back to the young lady's yard.

As soon as Xie Lingxi returned home, she was stopped by the housekeeper: "Miss, are you back?"
